Tuesday, February 12, 2002 Bench Press 290x1 plus 1 with a touch spot and 1 forced 225x12 245x5 Incline Presses were way down. I think my shoulders were a little sore today- probably the reason for my bad day. Sunday, Feb. 17, 2002 I've been off the weights for a few days; I'm really not exactly sure how I'm going to modify my training split; right now I'm hitting the weights 4 days out of 6 (although I'm only doing 3 right now because of a pulled muscle in my leg that is preventing me from getting a leg workout in). Anyways, right now my schedule is as follows; Day 1: Chest Day 2: Back Day 3: Shoulders/Arms Day 4: Off Day 5: Legs Day 6: Off I would like to add in another day of lifting and cut out an off day since I really feel like I have the energy to do so. I would normally split up shoulders and arms, but if I move any of those workouts a day later I think I'll have problems recovering in time. Who knows, maybe I'll double up the workouts or something…. About a month left of bulking guys, and I really want to try and hit the big 225 in bodyweight. I plan on cutting down close to 200 over the summer; maybe more or less, we'll see. I'd also like to get by bench up to 315, and squats along with dead-lifts to an easy 500. 8:15 I woke up, ate about 300 cal of cereal along with another 300 cal of shake 'n back chicken. (I didn't feel like a protein shake this morning). I also took 200mg of 1- AD Mon.

I was puking in the bathroom afterwards, and I feel like my throat was burned from it… Oh man, and this is the easiest of the workouts…. 4:11 Post workout nutrition: 3 cups milk, 3 scoops protein powder, 2.5tsp creatine powder, 4 multivitamin for a total of 90g protein, and around 550 calories 4:25 2 bananas, a few cups of grapefruit juice to spike the insulin levels.(350 calories) 6:20 Spaghetti with meat sauce, 3 scoops protein powder in water (70-73 g protein, 600-700 calories) 8:45 2 protein bars, 1 bottle water(68g protein, 520 calories) 11:00 3 scoops protein powder in water, Spaghetti with meat sauce (70-73 g protein, 600-700 calories) I'm at 405 g protein and 4,060 calories for today… I figure I'll stay up late tonight and get in a 4 scoop powder shake brining my total to 493 g protein, and 4,860 calories. Wow, that's a lot of food!…Well I am bulking though. Goals for tomorrow: I'm going to go a little stricter on my diet, but keep calories around the same (4500 or so), while keeping protein around 500. I'm training back, so here's what I'm looking for in terms of weights: Deadlifts Maybe go for a 500 max, or hit 435x3...I'll see how I'm feeling. Tuesday, Feb. 19, 2002 10:00 I think this was when I woke up, not too sure though. Anyways, I ate a bowl of cereal and 3 scoops protein powder… (74g protein, and 550 calories).
